About Me

After graduating from Durham University with a BA (Hons) Combined Arts, I went on to work in teaching, training, marketing and media research. I hold a ICF accredited Diploma in Transformational Coaching from Animas (2018) and am also an accredited Youth and Education Coach (Animas, 2021). I'm currently working towards an accreditation in Coaching Relationships (will be complete April 2025, Animas)

As well as coaching privately, I am also Lead Facilitator for West Sussex charity The Juno Project, running workshops for teenage girls around self-esteem and empowerment.

I have life experience in being stuck, wondering who I am, divorce, being the sandwich generation, parenting teenagers, and all the other stuff that comes with being unarmed in the no man's land that is midlife. When I'm not dodging life's bullets, I love creative writing as it allows me to live life vicariously through my characters. I also love fitness and walking with my dog.  I'm not sure if I'm an introvert extrovert or an extrovert introvert, but I can feel overwhelmed by places that are too peopley and I can be the life and soul of the party, but only until 9pm. Solitude is my sanctuary, where I recharge my batteries and reconnect with my inner peace. With myself, not by myself.

My life's good - it's not perfect but it's real. I certainly haven't got it all figured out, but when life throws me a challenge, I can handle it with the tools I've learned through coaching and personal growth. I would love to share my coaching approach with you, and get you to the other side of whatever challenge you're facing.

My approach to coaching is holistic, meaning that I see you as a whole person, whose way of being is shaped by the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual spheres.

I draw on many different approaches in my coaching, including humanism, positive psychology, narrative Coaching, Jungian psychology, the transpersonal, spirituality. By combining a variety of approaches bespoke to your own unique way of being, we will gain insight into the subtle and subconscious drivers of your actions, behaviour, and motivations. No two people are the same, and so my approach is different with each and every client.

I am a passionate lifelong learner and as such I engage in continued development, both professional and personal.  I only work with tools, techniques and concepts that I’ve personally found to be truly transformative. Every approach I use has been part of my own personal journey, and as such, you can be assured that I coach with passion, wisdom and integrity.
